# Patterns & logic Worksheets

> Grades 1–3 · 2 printable sheets

Number sequences and visual puzzles — the sheets with no arithmetic method to follow, where the work is spotting a rule and saying what it is. They are the least like a worksheet of anything here, and they are the two a child is most likely to ask for a second page of. Neither needs a pencil-and-paper method, so neither goes stale the way a drill does.

## What to expect

Expect these to take longer than they look and to be worth it anyway. A Bongard problem has no procedure at all: six boxes obey a rule, six break it, and the answer is a sentence rather than a number. That is closer to what mathematics actually asks for than a page of sums, and it suits a child who finds drill dull.

## Where to start

Start with Patterns at the easy level — skip counting up and down — which is arithmetic practice in disguise. Bongard Problems need no arithmetic at all and can be given to a child of any age on this site; one a day is plenty, and the answer being a sentence rather than a number is the whole point.
